Welcome!

My name is David “Davidya” Buckland.

This site explores what it means to live life approaching, transitioning, and living in post-personal stages of development; what we often call enlightenment. These stages build on more familiar stages of personal development studied by psychology and biology.

I post articles as they arise, so please subscribe to receive notification of the latest.

This site began in 2007 and contains over 2,000 articles. During that time, my perspective has grown and I’ve changed how I see and describe our potential unfolding. This evolution continues. You won’t find a list of correct concepts or truths but ways of seeing the spiritual journey, oneself, and the world. Old articles don’t become wrong, I just add other perspectives. Use them to support your journey, but don’t confuse a map with the road. Let your direct experience guide you.

Humanising Awakening

Recently, I told my awakening story to Maggie on the Humanising Awakening channel. I talk about the process, from learning to meditate through ParaBrahman, with lots of asides for context and variations. We’ve also recorded …

Timelines

Knowledge flows when the channel is open. When we heal or resolve our unfinished business, related understanding can develop. However, if we have resistance to certain ideas or experiences, understanding won’t flow. For example, many …

What’s the Point?

Sometimes, we might wonder what’s the point of spiritual practice? Isn’t that all about me? What about all the suffering and drama in the world? How am I going to make any difference? The answer …
